Welcome - As you know, the arts enrich our lives, stir our imaginations and emotions, and inspire us to reach our greatest potential.

We have made these our goals, and the Milton Art Museum endevors to bring enrichment to all members of the community through the continued efforts of expanding awareness and introducing all art forms.

The Museum reaches all ages within the South Shore community... children, young adults, students, parents, seniors, and artists as well... each vital to our ongoing commitment to include the arts in everyone's life.

The exterior signage recently received a much needed facelift. Stainless steel letters replaced a crumbling vinyl banner that hung at the entrance to the Administrative Wing of Massasoit Community College. The Milton Art Museum's permanent collection is on exhibit in the main lobby as you enter. Massasoit and the MAM have enjoyed a successful collaboration since 2003.

Our 25th Anniversary was celebrated with an evening reception that marked several milestones. It was also the MAM's seventh year as a collection in residence at Massasoit's Canton campus, and the re-establishment of the museum's Emergent Artists Exhibition program. A solo show of works by J.R. Ringdahl opened in the PCR Gallery, a space designated by the college exclusively for this program. Vice President of Massasoit's Canton Campus, Nick Palantzas, delivered opening remarks.

We are hosting the first of two group shows featuring the jurorís choice of top entries from the
2012 Annual Juried Art Competition. Featured in this exhibition are Kevin Blerbaum, Courtney Hadden and Clifford Smith. Their work was selected from 240 submissions from across the country. On display January 9 - February 28. For more information call 781-821-2222 ext. 2124.

Massasoit Prof. Linda Dunn welcomed students back to class with a surprise viewing of Rembrandt's etching "The Rising of Lazarus", made possible by a recently Work on Loan donation to the MAM by Lee & Margaret Brusa. The etching will be on exhibition until January 2013. To donate a Work on Loan, please call 781-821-2222 ext. 2124.

Every day, students and visitors are viewing more than 250 objects in the permanent collection. As a teaching tool, the museum provides objects for writing and research. As a community resource, visitors have access to a museum experience without traveling into the city. Groups welcome. For more information call 781-821-2222 ext. 2124.
